I'd take Romney over Rudy any day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not especially fond of either of them, but at least Romney seems like a competent business guy who is just toting the party line to win the primaries, whereas Rudy is just balls out crazy.

I grew up in utah, I know how horribly those who legislate with the mormon agenda operate. 90% of the states legislature are mormon, laws passed and votes cast are often lockstep with what the mormon prophet recommends. Just imagine our next president taking his marching orders from gordon hinkley. pretty scary if you ask me. I don't believe a persons religion should preclude them from doing anything, but in the case of the mormons, I grew up with them, I know how intertwined their church is with their political leaders and I find it incredibly scary. there was a reason I left.

I'm reading "Legacy of Ashes," the new CIA book. It's bending my mind and is creating a whole new way of perceiving all political figures and this constant barrage of political theater.Off topic, but not really. The whole "strengthen our intelligence service" is a joke and lie beyond comprehension.

Dunno, he was a competent governor here, nothing to write home about, but got shit done. I somehow feel all this crowing about his mormon roots is akin to people crying about Kennedy being a catholic and handing the country over to the pope, a bit unfounded.He's primarily a business guy and will say and do whatever it takes to get a job done, which, yeah, it's scary cause you never know which Romney you're dealing with. That and only that, his absence of individual personality, is what makes him scary to me.But i do think he'd be better in a managerial sense than Giuliani, not that it'll matter much, the Repugnicans are in a pretty damn deep hole.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gov…
